v2.1.0.0: Resilient Update Flow

🌐 Official Website — documentation, features overview, and installation guide.

✨ New Features

  • Updates can't be interrupted by mistake: pressing the gamepad B button, Alt+F4, or the close button in Xbox Mode's task switcher won't interrupt the update while it's downloading and installing.
  • Interrupted updates can be resumed: if an update is interrupted by a power loss, forced reboot, or crash, the next time you launch OmniConsole you'll get a "Resume update?" prompt to pick up where it left off.

🔧 Improvements

  • Gamepad D-pad in File Explorer no longer jumps two entries per press in Mouse Mode (Auto or Force On): Fixed an issue where Mouse Mode also sent arrow keys for D-pad input that File Explorer already handled, causing focus to jump two entries per press.
  • Open Xbox Library no longer flashes when the Xbox App is already in front: previously, it minimised the Xbox App and then immediately restored it, which looked like a bounce. Now it leaves the Xbox App alone when it's already in front, and only minimises the foreground for other apps.
  • Gamepad button glyphs now use Segoe Fluent Icons: the View (⧉) and Menu (☰) glyphs that appear inline in Settings and the OmniCharm widget render in Segoe Fluent Icons instead of generic Unicode. image
  • About page info cards reachable by D-pad in narrow layouts: when the About page collapsed to a single column on smaller windows, the cards below the Copy / Refresh buttons were unreachable by gamepad and the page would not scroll. Each info card (Suite / PhantomKey health / XFSET / Hardware / System) is now a focus stop, so the D-pad walks through them and the page scrolls to keep the focused card in view.
  • UI strings renamed to Xbox Mode (FSE) to match the name shown in Windows Settings: Microsoft has renamed the Settings entry from "Full Screen Experience" to "Xbox mode" in newer Windows 11 builds. OmniConsole now uses "Xbox Mode (FSE)" throughout its UI to match what users see in Windows Settings. The legacy "FSE" abbreviation is kept in parentheses for users on older Windows builds where the original name still appears.
  • Cleaner look between the platform category tabs and the platform cards in Settings: the thin grey line that used to appear between the System / User tabs and the platform cards is gone.

🛠️ Installation Instructions

Download OmniConsole_2.1.0.0_x64.zip from the Assets below and extract it to any folder.

Option A: Install.bat (Recommended)

  1. Run Install.bat. It will enable Developer Mode, install the certificate, install any missing framework dependencies, and install both MSIX packages automatically.

Option B: Manual Install

  1. [Critical] Go to Windows Settings → System → Advanced and enable Developer Mode.
  2. [Critical] Double-click OmniConsole_2.1.0.0_x64.cer → click Install Certificate → Store Location: Local MachinePlace all certificates in the following store → Browse → select Trusted People → Finish. (Skip this step if you already have the certificate installed)
  3. (Optional — only needed on fresh/offline systems; online systems fetch these automatically) Double-click each file inside Dependencies\ to install the bundled framework packages (skip any that report an equal or newer version already installed).
  4. Double-click OmniConsole_2.1.0.0_x64.msix to install the main app.
  5. Double-click OmniConsole.PhantomLink_2.1.0.0_x64-widget.msix to install the OmniCharm widget.

⚙️ Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.7019)+ with Xbox Mode (FSE) enabled.
  • OmniConsole requires the Full Handheld edition of Xbox Mode (FSE). Microsoft is gradually rolling out a Limited PC edition to regular PCs — use Xbox Full Screen Experience Tool (XFSET) to switch to the Full Handheld edition.
  • Desktops, Laptops, Tablets & Handhelds without the Full Handheld edition: Run XFSET first.
  • Native handheld devices (e.g., ROG Xbox Ally series): Already on the Full Handheld edition — install OmniConsole directly.
  • Xbox Controller Required: Game Bar, Xbox Mode (FSE), and all gamepad features require an Xbox-compatible (XInput) controller with an Xbox button.

v2.1.0.0:強化更新流程

🌐 前往官方網站 — 完整文件、功能介紹與安裝指南。

✨ 新功能

  • 更新進行中不會被意外關閉:下載與安裝期間,按手把 B 鍵、Alt+F4 或 Xbox 模式工作切換器的關閉鈕都不會中斷更新。
  • 更新中斷後可從中斷處接續:若更新過程被斷電、強制重新啟動或當機中斷,下次啟動時會跳出「是否繼續更新?」對話方塊,按下繼續即可從上次中斷的地方接續。

🔧 改進

  • 手把 D-pad 在檔案總管啟用滑鼠模式(自動/強制開啟)時不再每按一下跳兩格:Windows 11 檔案總管原生支援手把 D-pad,原本滑鼠模式重複送出方向鍵導致焦點跳兩格,現已修正。
  • 開啟 Xbox 媒體櫃時若 Xbox App 已在前景不再閃動:原本當 Xbox App 已是前景時觸發開啟 Xbox 媒體櫃,會出現短暫的「縮小再放大」回彈動畫。現在前景已是 Xbox App 時會保持原狀,僅在前景為其他應用程式時才執行最小化。
  • 手把按鍵圖示改用 Segoe Fluent Icons 字型:設定頁與 OmniCharm 小工具中,手把快捷鍵說明內嵌的 View(⧉)與 Menu(☰)圖示現已改用 Segoe Fluent Icons 字型渲染,取代原本的通用 Unicode 字形。 image
  • 關於頁資訊卡片在窄版面下可由 D-pad 操作到達:當關於頁因視窗較窄收合為單欄時,原本「複製 / 重新整理」按鈕之後的卡片無法用手把到達,頁面也不會捲動。每個資訊卡片(Suite / PhantomKey 健康狀況 / XFSET / 硬體 / 系統)現在皆為焦點停留點,D-pad 可逐一移動,頁面會自動捲動讓被聚焦的卡片保持在可視範圍。
  • 介面字串更名為 Xbox 模式 (FSE) 以符合 Windows 設定中的名稱:Microsoft 在較新 Windows 11 版本中已將設定中的名稱從「全螢幕體驗」改為「Xbox 模式」。OmniConsole 的 UI 字串現一律改為「Xbox 模式 (FSE)」,讓措辭與使用者在 Windows 設定中實際看到的一致。括號內保留舊縮寫「FSE」,方便仍在舊 Windows 版本(顯示原名稱)的使用者認出是同一個功能。
  • 設定頁平台分類索引標籤與平台卡片之間的視覺更乾淨:原本介於系統/自訂索引標籤與平台卡片之間的淡灰細線已移除。

  • 桌機、筆電、平板及未取得完整掌機版的掌機:請先執行 XFSET。
  • 原生掌機裝置(如 ROG Xbox Ally 系列):原廠即為完整掌機版,可直接安裝 OmniConsole。
